On today's Your Call, we’llspeak with Seth Holmes, author of Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Migrant Farmworkers in the United States. Holmes spent time “living in labor camps, picking fruit and pruning plants on farms, migrating and crossing the US-Mexico desert border with undocumented Mexican migrant farmworkers.” He chronicles the physical and emotional tolls they face making this trek and laboring in the fields. How do we connect the dots between fruits and vegetables we rely on and the people who suffer to pick them? Join the conversation on the next Your Call with Rose Aguilar and You.

Guests:

Seth Holmes, cultural and medical anthropologist and physician and author of "Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Migrant Farmworkers in the United States"
